Chapter: CHAPTER 81The embarrassment still burned beneath her skin, and now the challenge stood before her like an opportunity to recover the dignity she felt slipping away.Steven’s silent warning had been unmistakable.But despite every signal he gave her, Britney made up her mind.She lifted her chin proudly and looked directly at the girls standing before her.“Fine,” she said firmly.The girls blinked in surprise.Britney folded her arms across her chest and repeated herself with renewed confidence.“I accept.”The words settled heavily in the corridor.Steven’s eyes widened almost immediately.For a brief moment, genuine shock crossed his face.“Britney,” he began.But before he could continue, she cut him off and kept her gaze fixed on the girls.“You heard me,” she said confidently. “I accept your challenge.”The two girls exchanged looks.The surprise on their faces slowly transformed into amusement.The first girl smiled.“Really?”Britney nodded without hesitation.“Yes.”The second girl look

Chapter: CHAPTER 80The two girls standing nearby stared at her.Then suddenly,They began laughing.The sound cut through the corridor sharply.At first, the laughter sounded restrained, as though they were trying to hold themselves back. But the longer they looked at Britney’s stunned expression and the awkward tension surrounding the moment, the less control they seemed able to maintain.The girl Britney had slapped earlier laughed first.she folded her arms and shook her head while amusement spread openly across her face.“Oh my God,” she said between laughs. “This is actually happening.”Her friend laughed beside her.The humiliation Britney had caused them moments earlier now seemed to be returning to her with painful force.Britney immediately stiffened.Her expression darkened.The laughter irritated her, but beneath that irritation was something far more uncomfortable.Confusion.And disbelief.The first girl looked directly at her.“This is honestly so shameful,” she said.Britney frowned.“Wh

Chapter: CHAPTER 79The girl who had been slapped blinked repeatedly as though struggling to process what had just happened. The sting on her cheek hurt, but the humiliation burned even more deeply. Her breathing had become uneven, and the disbelief in her eyes only continued to grow.At last, she slowly lowered her hand and looked directly at Britney.“Why would you do that?” she asked, her voice trembling with both shock and hurt. “I only asked you a question. Why did you slap me?”Britney remained standing stiffly before them.The irritation she had carried ever since her argument with Steven had not disappeared. Instead, it had settled heavily inside her and now mixed with anger and wounded pride. Rather than showing regret, her expression hardened even further.She folded her arms and lifted her chin slightly.“You want to know why?” she asked coldly.The girl stared at her.“Yes,” she replied quietly.Britney let out a short, humorless laugh.“Because you deserved it.”The answer stunned both gir

Chapter: CHAPTER 78Mr. Frank’s office was quiet that afternoon.The lecturer sat halfway on the edge of his desk while reviewing several documents that had been spread neatly before him. Although his attention appeared fixed on the papers before him, his thoughts had drifted elsewhere.His mind remained occupied with what had happened during class.Over the years, Mr. Frank had developed a sharp ability to notice changes in his students. Teaching had taught him that people often revealed more through their expressions and behavior than through words. Earlier in the classroom, something about Steven had disturbed him.Mr. Frank removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose thoughtfully.Just then, a knock sounded on the office door.He lifted his head, “who is it?” he asked.There was a brief pause before a familiar voice answered from outside.“Mr. Frank, it’s Steven.”The lecturer immediately recognized the voice.“Alright,” he replied calmly. “Come in.”The door opened and Steven stepped into

Chapter: CHAPTER 77The question had barely left her mouth before Steven’s expression darkened. His irritation surfaced almost immediately, and even from where Justin sat, the annoyance written across his face was obvious.“Why?” Steven repeated sharply. “Isn’t that obvious?”Britney looked visibly startled by his reaction.“Why are you shouting at me?” she asked, her brows knitting together.Steven released a frustrated breath and rubbed his forehead before dropping his hand to his side.“Because,” he said impatiently, “you keep asking questions that already have obvious answers.”Britney looked increasingly surprised.“I only asked you something simple,” she replied.Steven shook his head.“No,” he said. “The problem is that you keep forgetting things.”Her expression hardened slightly.“What exactly am I forgetting?” she asked.Steven stared at her with annoyance.“Did you suddenly forget what happened in class?” he asked. “Mr. Frank specifically asked me to come and see him after class.”Britney star

Chapter: CHAPTER 76The classroom was engulfed in a strange and unusual silence that felt heavier than normal.Mr. Frank stood at the front of the classroom with a thoughtful expression on his face as his eyes slowly moved across the students seated before him. Earlier, he had brought up the subject of the Campus King, and ever since then, whispers had spread rapidly throughout the room. The curiosity among the students was obvious.Everyone wanted answers.Everyone wanted to know who the mysterious figure truly was.Yet the very person they were desperately trying to identify sat quietly among them without saying a word.Justin remained seated calmly in his chair, appearing entirely unaffected by the excitement and speculation surrounding him. His posture was relaxed, and his expression revealed nothing. Not once did he show even the slightest indication that he was the very person everyone was so eager to uncover.Meanwhile, the questions inside the classroom continued to pour in from every direction

The Elevation Of August Steve
"Come on, waiter," Tom taunted, his voice dripping with contempt. "You should lick it up while it's still cool," he added with a sly chuckle as his friends eagerly removed their phones to capture August’s humiliation for their amusement.
August was devastated, the money he had been saving for the past eight months barely amounted to $180. How would he muster $800 to spare himself from this humiliating ordeal? Stooping that low to lick the liquor on the floor was an option he rather succumbed to death sooner than consider.
"Please, give me until tomorrow. I'll find a way to borrow the money and pay you back," August pleaded, desperation creeping into his voice.
But Tom was not having it with him. “No waiter, everything starts and end today. If you are going to pay me the money then is going to be today and right now, or I will have to force you to lick up the liquor”.
August's devastation intensified as he realized the gravity of the situation, this was not optional like Tom presented it the first time. His intentions were clear; he did not at all cared about the money all he wanted was to have August lick the floor for their amusement.

Chapter: The EndMeanwhile, at the Gibson mansion, the atmosphere was completely different.August sat in the living room, his fingers tapping lightly against his knee as he waited. For someone who had just handled multiple crises and stood firm in front of the board, he now looked… nervous.Very nervous.He let out a small breath and ran a hand through his hair.At that moment, Damien walked into the room, holding a small velvet box carefully in his hand.“Young master,” Damien said respectfully, stepping closer, “I have brought the ring.”August immediately straightened.“The ring?” he repeated.“Yes,” Damien replied, opening the box slowly.Inside it, a brilliant diamond ring sparkled under the light, shining so brightly that it almost reflected across the entire room.“It is the most expensive ring in the world,” Damien added calmly.August leaned forward and looked at it. For a moment, he said nothing.Then a nervous grin slowly appeared on his face. “Tina is going to love this,” he said quietly.

Chapter: Few Minutes LaterA few minutes later, a flashy black car drove slowly through the gates of the Doe’s mansion and came to a stop in front of the house. The engine went silent, and the door opened.Mia stepped out of the car, her heels clicking softly against the tiled ground as she walked toward the door. Her face was calm, almost too calm, as if she had already planned everything in her mind.She raised her hand and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened.It was Tina.The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere changed immediately.Tina did not smile.In fact, her expression turned cold almost instantly.After what happened at the restaurant, where Mia had publicly accused her of stealing her husband, there was no warmth left between them.Not anymore.“What do you want?” Tina asked bluntly, her tone direct and unfriendly.Mia paused for a second. Then, suddenly, her expression changed.Her eyes softened, and her face turned regretful.“Are you not even going to let me come in?” she asked in a low

Chapter: Mia Wants Tina DeadAfter the board meeting ended, the atmosphere outside the building had already changed completely. The news of how August had managed to solve eight devastating crises within one week and turn massive losses into profit had spread like wildfire across the city. Every major news outlet picked it up immediately.All the headlines that had once questioned him, mocked him, and asked whether he was fit to lead the Gibson conglomerate were suddenly gone. It was as if they had never existed.In their place were bold new headlines filled with praise.“August Gibson Shocks the Business World!”“Heir Turns Billions in Losses into Profit in Just One Week!”“Is August Even Better Than His Grandfather?: Watch how the young heir makes history in the business world.”By the time August stepped out of the building with Damien beside him, a large crowd of reporters had already gathered at the entrance.The moment they saw him, they rushed forward.“Mr. Gibson!” one of them called out loudly. “Over he

Chapter: Alexander Is Thrown Out Of The Board MeetingAlexander’s face burned with frustration as he struggled to remain seated in his seat, his chest rising and falling heavily. The calm confidence he had walked into the room with was gone, replaced by anger and disbelief.August watched him quietly for a moment, then a faint grin appeared on his face.“What is the matter, Uncle?” August asked calmly, his tone almost playful but nothing less taunting. “Even after finding out you created all this crisis, I did not get as frustrated as you are right now.”The room went silent again.Alexander’s eyes snapped toward him, filled with rage.“You were the one bragging earlier,” August continued, leaning back slightly in his chair. “You said you could not wait for this moment to come. You said there was nothing I could do within one week.”He paused briefly, letting the words sink in.“Now that you have seen what I am capable of,” he added, his voice steady, “why don’t you praise me instead of getting angry?”A few of the board members lowered

Chapter: The Manager's TestimoniesDonald stepped forward with a calm expression, but his voice carried weight as he began his report.“Esteemed board members,” he said respectfully, “our company was facing a major crisis before the young master intervened.”The men in the room leaned forward slightly, ready to listen.“For months, we had been producing drugs and storing them in our warehouses,” Donald continued. “The warehouses were filled to the brim with finished products ready for distribution.”He paused briefly, then his tone became heavier.“But before we could supply those drugs to the market, a group of thugs attacked our facilities,” he said. “They set fire to the warehouses and burned everything to the ground.”A murmur spread across the room.“Drugs worth four billion dollars were destroyed in that attack,” he added.Several board members frowned deeply.“That meant we had nothing left to supply to our customers,” Donald continued. “And if that situation had continued, we would not only have lost money, we

Chapter: Verdict DaySix days later, inside one of the Gibson conglomerate’s largest headquarters, the board members were already seated in a luxurious boardroom. The long polished table reflected the bright lights above, and the air inside the room carried a heavy sense of expectation.At one end of the table, Alexander sat comfortably with a confident look on his face. His posture was relaxed, and his fingers tapped lightly against the arm of his chair. He had the face of a man who had already won.Alexander looked around at the board members and gave a faint smile.“You should not worry yourselves,” he said calmly. “I know that foolish nephew of mine could not have fixed anything within the one week you gave him.”Some of the men exchanged glances, while others leaned forward slightly, clearly interested in what he had to say.Alexander continued, his tone filled with certainty.“So you can already consider this matter settled,” he added. “By the end of today, I will officially take over as the new hei

Rise Of The Ill-treated Michael Wayne
"I'll rise above this, and you'll face the consequences of your actions," he declared, a silent promise to himself amidst the noisy laughter.
“Now, you see that she was only using you all these time,” Jack said, and Sydney smiled slyly.
Sydney's cold words cut through the air, echoing her heartless confession.
"That's so true, I only used you to solve my Math problems. I would never want to kiss a guy drowning in unending poverty. This is not a fairy tale, where a princess gets to kiss a frog," Sydney declared, glancing down at the hole on the top of Micheal's shoe.

Chapter: EuphoriaMr Charles sat in the living room with a bandaged arm, watching the news alongside the Winchesters. The atmosphere in the room was filled with the aroma of relief and excitement. It was just few hours after the incidence at Arturo’s underground lair and their faces were all over the news. Michael made a chuckle as he switched from one news channel to another, their faces on any channel he switched to; the whole world was talking about them.This was not the first time he had appeared on the news but this was the first time he had received so much praised.“This ingrate! I hope he rots behind bars,” Mr Winchester said as the anchorwoman confirmed the arrest of the Chief Justice of the Federation.He was merely one out of the 250 EVA members, which included mostly government officials and other prominent persons in the country that were being arrested at the moment.The whole country was in uproar when the vice president himself was dragged out of the government house in handcuffs by M

Chapter: Arturo Is Arrested Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones. Now he must again face what was before him, so he dropped the gun to the ground slowly.“Did you possibly think, I will allow a single man step between me and getting my revenge on you? You underestimated my course, Gareth Winchester!”“When have you becom

Chapter: Who Get's To Take The First Bullet?The men reacted differently following the disclosure; Mr Charles and Michael’s jaws dropped and their throats went dry in fear. They could only wish the ground should open up and swallow them. They were startled not because they were standing face to face with the man who led EVA and controlled the whole government officials low-key, but the fact that their security men killed his sister and he was probably there to get his revenge on them.But Mr Winchester was kind of excited rather than shocked like the others were. “Arturo! Is it really you? Oh my God! Look at you! I should have recognized you earlier, you’ve grown to be a carbon copy of your dad. Come on, give me a hug man,” Mr Winchester said ignorantly as he opened his arms towards Arturo only to be pushed away.He was so caught up in the realization that the man was the immediate younger brother to his childhood friend Vincent, that he forgot the man he tried to hug was the one behind all the terrible things happening in their

Chapter: Conclave ChamberIt was of no use struggling, the men overpowered them and covered their faces so that they did not see where they were been taken.Though the car drove on for only forty minutes, to them it felt like forever. Who wouldn’t feel that way when being taken to the unknown by thugs with your face covered.The car finally halted and the men dragged them out as Mr Charles continued to throw empty threats like he had been doing for the past forty minutes. “You morons! Get your dirty hands of me. Harm a hair on Michael and I promise you will never see the lights of day again”. But it fell on deaf ears, the men continued pushing and dragging them where they wanted to without uttering a word.Finally the thugs stopped, they thought they had arrived the location the thugs were supposed to take them. Suddenly, an electronic beep echoed and they could feel the room descending; they were actually in an elevator.It took several minutes before the elevator reached the ground floor. It was like descen

Chapter: The slayerThey could not even consider the possibility of Mrs McCoy lying to them about the identity; the Winchester slayer had proved to be wealthy and Influential like they were told about Arturo Adams.Michael was deeply pondered, not for the fact that his dad was a hostage to a drug baron who controls the government but what he might do to him considering the fact that his sister was killed by their security.“What do we do now?” Michael asked his father’s emissary whose legs were already shaking like he had just seen a ghost, anxiety painted all over his face.“Come on Michael, can’t you see the man is almost wetting his pants? The mention of Arturo’s name has taken away his ability to even reason. But let me help you and answer the question for him; the only thing you can do now is return home, pray and hope he doesn’t kill your dad today, but for sure he will definitely kill him not even the almighty could prevent it,” Mrs McCoy said coldly as a wicked smile invaded her face.Mrs clinch

Chapter: It's Been Alturo All Along“Do you by any chance happen to know who this Winchester slayer is?” The inspector asked curiously.“No inspector, the Winchester slayer’s real identity still remains a myth to us. But we have come to learn he is not just rich but very influential as well; even the government officials are answerable to him,” Mr Charles said dejectedly.“There are billions of places where he could be holding Mr Winchester. Without knowing who he is, it’s almost impossible to find your boss. Do you at all happens to have any clue of how we might find him?” The inspector asked intriguingly but Mr Charles shook his head slowly.“I think I might know someone who might have a clue of who he is,” Michael said setting the men on their toes. “Mrs McCoy, am sure she knows who this Winchester slayer is,” Michael added.“I will send my men to bring her in for questioning, right now. Don’t worry she will definitely give us the information; even if it requires beating the hell out of her till she vomits it”.“No i
